VOTE!

Post by Elnjaybass »

I'm having a horrendous time refraining from purchasing a 4003-

Based on prior experience, and my lack of self-control, I'm going to buy some time with this poll.

Please be advised of (3) things:

1) I absolutely respect and admire the members of this Forum for their knowledge and appreciation of the Rickenbacker line; basses in general. I'm late to the party, but still a celebrant.

2) I'm very impressed with the scope of knowledge that many here have of this fabulous line-up-the history, the variants, and the specifics. Well-done.
and finally

3) In the end I don't care what anybody says- I'm gonna decide, seeing as it's my $$ going bye-bye!
WHO CARES? Can't take it with you! LOL :lol:

First, it was def Jet-Glo; now I must say I'm prone to FireGlo

LET THE BALLOTING BEGIN:

1) Jet-Glo

2) Fire-Glo

3) Midnight Blue

4) MapleGlo- (absolutely beautiful I think especially in a 4003, but should it be a "mate" to my MG
Laredo?? VOTE! I value what you have to say!

5) A Vintage, no longer available Model, I've seen a White model, a Blue-Boy, and those "Shadows"- wow- Of course it all becomes a matter of price and availability, and I'm sorta prone to new instruments- ('cept for my '69 P-Bass, but... who knows?)


So, please -0
VOTE!
Vote often!

Explain your Vote-

I wouldn't even mind someone saying "I VOTE for you to chill out, quit grousing, shut up, and NOT buy another RIC", but Frankly, that's prolly not going to happen; not here, huh?

OK-Polls are OPEN!

I was thinking, I am the only one who thinks so, but I see I am wrong. Darker fireglo or autmnglo is fine, otherwise I would choose jetglo :wink:

You can't go wrong with a Jetglo 4003. It's RIC's biggest selling instrument. At least it was when they were still shipping them. :wink:

The 4003 looks great in Jetglo with white plastic.

Try to get one with the Full Width Inlays. That's even better.

Jetglo is the new Black! :mrgreen:

Choosing is one thing-Finding one --Another.

I forgot to add the Midnight Blue to the poll choices; consider it a write-in.

I've found those in stock, also a dealer with a couple Jet-Glos.
Have NOT found a Fire-Glo (new) in stock, so I can buy some more time....
But I'm fading fast.

Funny...something's happening inside my head... I hear voices...I see colors.... I feel a magnetic, compelling urge..
Must...Have...Rickenbacker...4003.

They really look like they're FUN to play-
Say it ain't so.....
